The complex genome and adaptive evolution of polyploid Chinese pepper (Zanthoxylum armatum and Zanthoxylum bungeanum).

Zanthoxylum armatum and Zanthoxylum bungeanum, known as 'Chinese pepper', are distinguished by their extraordinary complex genomes, phenotypic innovation of adaptive evolution and species-special metabolites. Here, we report reference-grade genomes of Z. armatum and Z.

Comparative Transcriptome and Metabolome Analysis of Resistant and Susceptible Species Upon Infection by the Oomycete .

is a destructive oomycete pathogen that causes devastating disease in black pepper, resulting in a significant decline in yield and economic losses. (black pepper) is documented as susceptible to , whereas its close relative is known to be resistant. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the resistance of remains obscure.

The chromosome-scale reference genome of black pepper provides insight into piperine biosynthesis.

Black pepper (Piper nigrum), dubbed the 'King of Spices' and 'Black Gold', is one of the most widely used spices. Here, we present its reference genome assembly by integrating PacBio, 10x Chromium, BioNano DLS optical mapping, and Hi-C mapping technologies. The 761.
